Thank you for visiting us. As of November 2017 we will no longer be trading as NQ UAV and will continue as FlyFreely. Combined with this change of name is a change of direction with the company. We have made the decision to discontinue our contract drone services.

We believe that the future of drones is in your hands, and that is why we have developed FlyFreely. We want to make drone usage available to everyone through facilitating a safe, quick, and cost effective process. Basically, we want to enable drones for everyone. If this sounds like a good fit for your business, let us know! We would love to hear from you and discuss how you want to use drones in your business.
